How to practice mindfulness for beginners

First Practice

Just notice all your breathing experiences.

Note: Continuous awareness is the key skill. (It means continuous awareness of breathing experiences from the beginning to the ending of your one breath. It is like a cat watching every movement of a frog, which is waiting for an opportunity to run away from the cat.) The practice is neither thinking about breath nor quieting the mind nor trying to feel good.

Practice Guideline

Posture: You can do the above practices while sitting. Sit upright and balanced so that your body becomes relaxed and pleasant on its own.
